Ms. Zina Cooper

Zina Antionette Cooper, affectionately know to many as, “Tina”, was the  beloved baby girl of the late Isadore Cooper and the late Juanita Robinson Cooper.  Tina was born December 8, 1962 in Dade City, Florida.  She received her formal education through the Pasco County School System, where she met and made many lasting friendships.   Tina was employed with Lykes Pasco for many years and later became employed with St. Leo University, among other jobs in which she fulfilled. Her greatest joy came from nurturing and providing for her family, whom she loved dearly.  Tina was literally the “life of the party”, with a smile that would brighten up anyone’s day.  She  brought not only family together, but also her close friends together as well.  Tina was loved by many, in many different ways, and  for many different reasons.  She loved to dance, travel, and sing.  More importantly, Tina always prayed and kept her faith in God.  Tina was preceded in death by: her parents; her sisters, Sheral Brown, Mineola Cooper, and Lynn Cooper; and brother-in-law,  Frank Adams.  On Thursday, November 6, 2025,  Tina passed away peacefully at her home.  She leaves behind: two children, Charlena Dillard and Percy Shields, Jr.; two bonus children, Lavelle Miller and Princess Dillard; 10 grand-children,  Jaliak Richardson, Lavelle Miller, Jr. (“LJ”), Karler Shields, Truce Downs, Jazinae Clower, Tawyia Miller, Ziyaa Miller, Jazelle Miller, Anari Taylor, Azaria Hixon, and Ty’Kierra Miller; 3 sisters, Patricia Cooper, Isabell Adams, and Mary Cooper;  and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and other sorrowing relatives and friends who loved her deeply.
